[Pdns-users] Retry NXDOMAIN with a secondary forwarder

I want to overlay a set of names onto an existing DNS zone for which I 
don't control the nameserver.
I have a number of names which are "mine" inside a zone managed "higher 
up" my organisation. The zone also contains lots of names which are not 
"mine".
DNS updates can take over 3 weeks (ridiculous, no?) to happen on the 
actual organisational nameservers so I want to make a resolver which 
will reflect our changes immediately.
